The total WIN/LOSS record for teams with a quarterback who passed for 300 yards or more in Week #3 is 6 WINS/5 LOSSES, and a winning percentage of 55%. Still not very impressive.

Take the Tom Brady factor (because he is Tom Brady) and the results become 6 WINS/4 LOSSES, and a winning percentage of 60%. That is a better result. We should mention that Brady threw 4 touchdowns along with his 387 yards - and he also threw 4 interceptions in Week #3.

The breakdown of the running backs who ran for 100 yards or more is like this:

The total WIN/LOSS record for teams with a running back who ran for 100 yards or more in Week #3 is 2 WINS/2 LOSSES, and a winning percentage of 50%. That is not impressive.

Week #3 is the first week of the season that teams with a running back who rushed for 100 yards or more did not have a winning percentage for the week above 50%.

To date, the season results in these categories are as follows:

300 YARD PASSERS18 WNS 16 LOSSES(53% winning percentage)

100 YARD RUSHERS12 WINS 5 LOSSES(71% winning percentage)

Maybe the NFL is setting down going into the fourth week of the season.Maybe passing yards and rushing yards will even out.

I don't think so - I still think to win in the NFL a team needs to be able to run the ball.

A team also needs to play defense...If a team can stop the opposition from scoring they will need to pass the ball less because they will not need to catch up to the opponent; and they will probably run the ball more.
